Title

NU9056, a KAT 5 inhibitor, treatment alleviates brain dysfunction by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation, affecting gut microbiota, and derived metabolites in LPS-treated mice

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate whether NU9056 has a significant therapeutic effect on sepsis-associated encephalopathy in vivo and in vitro and the main possible reasons for these effects. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used as the animal model of sepsis-associated encephalopathy. C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) control group, (2) LPS group, and (3) LPS + NU9056 group. LPS-treated mice received an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 mg/kg), NU9056 (5 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected twice, 30 min before and 24 h after LPS injection. The concentration of fecal short-chain fatty acid consisting of acetate, propionic, isobutyric, butyric, isovalerate, and valerate were measured via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (n = 5/group).
